Gaming Performance 2017: AoTS Escalation
Ashes of the Singularity is a Real Time Strategy game developed by Oxide Games and Stardock Entertainment. The original AoTS was released back in March of 2016 while the standalone expansion pack, Escalation, was released in November of 2016 adding more structures, maps, and units. We use this specific benchmark as it relies on both a good GPU as well as on the CPU in order to get the most frames per second. This balance is able to better display any system differences in gaming as opposed to a more GPU heavy title where the CPU and system don't matter quite as much. We use the default "Crazy" in-game settings using the DX11 rendering path in both 1080p and 4K UHD resolutions. The benchmark is run four times and the results averaged then plugged into the graph.
Our AOTSe testing continues to be a tight-knit data set with a half frame per second (FPS) separating things in 4K UHD and almost two FPS in the more CPU heavy 1080p results.

Are there ever gonna be a motherboard with clean lines and less appeal to 13-year old kids? 99.99% of the manufacturers all do black/red/gray colour, jagged edges and a missmash of edgy design feeatures. Guess i'll have to invest in a lazercutter to get clean lines and smooth design before i grow old and die. CLosest thing i've ever seen was ASUS Z97 SaberTooth Mark S, but then they went back to the teen tech.You can get some really nice cases, but if you try to match the hardware in one color other than black/red or black grey, then your in for a modding session. Currently making a white/purple build, but for some bizarre reason asus thinks all their "white boards" just needs a few blue details, and for the higher end cards.. then black/red or black/grey seems to be almost the only option, and has been for almost 10 years

It's just Asus with their dumb marketing gimmicks again. IMO their boards are the best but they're the worst values for the money. I'd go with ASRock instead.xray9 - Sunday, December 10, 2017 - link
Look to Supermicro server and workstation boards.I invested 3y ago into an X10SRi-F with E5-1650v3 or v4 .. works like a charm.
And even today it scales very nicely
- it has many PCIe 3.0 sockets with reasonable amount of PCIe lanes and some PCIe2.0
- if you compare the ratio of passmark performance divided by price, then you will see, that it the ratio is about the same compared to threadripper and Intel CPUs .. Which means you do not pay €1000 for threadripper which is quite expensive, you pay around €600 but get the same performance / price ratio
- you have with socket 2011-3 quad memory speed and ECC if you compare with Intel ...
- IPMI ...
Completely true enterprise segment products to a reasonable price.
So even 3y later absolutely compareable and expandable by PCI sockets with USB 3.1, further USB 3.0 or 10 Gigabit adapters if you require, PCIe based NVME ... all is possible.
